MPS Celebrates Milestone: Watershed Becomes Proud Owner of the 1000th MPS Machine

In a landmark achievement, MPS, a global leader in advanced print and packaging solutions, is thrilled to announce the sale of their 1000th machine to their customer Watershed, a respected family-owned business based in Leeds, with an additional facility in Wales. This milestone marks a significant moment in both companies' histories and reaffirms Watershed's unwavering trust in MPS's cutting-edge technology.

For over 15 years, Watershed has been a loyal MPS customer, having invested in nine MPS machines  over time. Watershed specializes in shrink sleeve and wrap-around label printing, with recent ventures into the yogurt and dairy lidding markets.

The acquisition of the MPS Machine H1000 signifies Watershed's continuous commitment to advancing production capabilities and maintaining their status as industry leaders. This state-of-the-art machine empowers Watershed to offer even higher-quality and more efficient solutions to their esteemed clientele.

John Waters, Owner,  at Watershed, expressed their enthusiasm for this significant acquisition, saying, "Our long-standing partnership with MPS is a testament to our shared commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. This addition plays a pivotal role in our expansion strategy, enabling us to meet the evolving demands of our clients across shrink sleeve, wrap-around label, and dairy lidding markets."  

Nick Tyrer, Managing Director of MPS Systems UK, reflected on the shared journey and prosperity of the two companies, noting, “It seems fitting that a company that has been with us since the start is now purchasing the 1000th machine from us. This press stands as the pinnacle of MPS technology, symbolizing a significant investment in both the machine itself and the performance programs that form the foundation of all our latest platforms.”

Looking ahead, MPS remains committed to providing cutting-edge technology and unwavering support to clients like Watershed, empowering them to thrive in dynamic markets. We eagerly anticipate many more years of shared accomplishments and milestones! As encapsulated in our slogan: “Connect to Grow”.
